The new toner from G.M. COLLIN represents a ‘gold standard’ in leave-on liquid exfoliation for smooth and radiant results, without the irritation of a scrub

If there’s one step in skincare that can truly transform a person’s complexion, it’s exfoliation. However, traditional methods often walk a fine line between glow and irritation. G.M. Collin’s new Peel Toner Exfoliant has been formulated to solve this problem by offering a next-generation daily leave-on liquid exfoliant designed to deliver radiance, smoothness and hydration, all in one sleek bottle.
No more coarse scrubs and grainy textures, this toner relies on a scientifically-balanced trio of exfoliants that come together in liquid form. These are: AHA (lactic and glycolic acids), to resurface dull skin for a fresh, even finish; BHA (salicylic acid) to penetrate pores and dissolve sebum and impurities; and PHA (gluconolactone) to gently refine while drawing in moisture, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Together, they form a powerhouse liquid blend that smooths, clarifies and brightens without compromising comfort.
To keep skin happy, G.M. Collin also added aloe vera, allantoin and hyaluronic acid, ensuring hydration and soothing care with every swipe.
Potent ingredients “We wanted to create a gentle yet effective exfoliant that instantly and gradually reveals radiant, glowing skin without compromise between comfort and results,” says Myriam Sayer, G.M. Collin’s VP of marketing and operations.
“As a dermatologist-founded brand, we believe in smart formulation. Each product combines a synergy of potent ingredients that work together to obtain the most effective skincare solutions on the market, maintaining skin safety and health. Our new Peel Toner Exfoliant follows our formulation philosophy to offer clinically-proven results and a unique experience.”
She continues: “Consumers today are craving skincare that’s both effective and kind to skin. Liquid exfoliants have been trending, but many formulas leave users choosing between glow and gentleness. G.M. Collin spotted the gap and spent years perfecting a solution: a clinically-tested, multi-tasking exfoliant that delivers results you can feel and see, without irritation.”
The proof for the Peel Toner Exfoliant results? A clinical study* showed skin texture was seen to have improved in 89 per cent of participants, while up to 82 per cent saw an improvement in skin hydration. In another study,** 90 per cent of testers saw an improvement in complexion radiance.
In both studies, participants applied toner twice daily and results were measured after the first hour, after 14 days and after 28 days (with some users reporting results within that first hour).
Enhanced facials One of the Peel Toner Exfoliant’s biggest wins is its no-rinse, no-fuss protocol that eliminates dead skin cells, smooths and hydrates. It’s quick to apply and silky on the skin, delivering that coveted ‘just-had-a-facial’ glow. Available in both retail and professional sizes, it can double as a treatment amplifier – enhancing facials in spas and clinics, while allowing customers to extend results at home (where it can be used daily, or a few times a week).
“The new toner can be incorporated easily into a professional facial, for preparing the skin before treatments and as an amplifier, or recommended by skincare professionals for the home regimen as gentle daily exfoliation for smoother, brighter, perfectly refreshed skin,” says Sayer.
Beyond performance, the formula reflects G.M. Collin's clean beauty values. It’s vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens and mineral oils. Ingredients are thoughtfully-sourced with an emphasis on renewability and local manufacturing helping to minimise the product’s carbon footprint.
G.M. Collin believes exfoliation is no longer about stripping the skin, it’s about revealing radiance while respecting the skin barrier. Its new Peel Toner Exfoliant embodies this shift, proving that high-performance skincare can be both powerful and pleasurable to use.
